Need help with light hanging kit



I bought a new light and a 2 point hanging kit from Sunlight Supply. It did not come with instructions.

Thanks

Hi Airborne,

I'm not sure what your 2-point hanging kit looks like but I just wanted to caution you on the "robustness" of some of these kits. I bought the 2-point hanging kit from Current USA for my Nova Extreme Pro fixtures and they looked very delicate to me. The cables were fine and the way it hooked into the light fixture was ok but the housing to mount to the ceiling was crazy. It basically relied on two little wood screws to hold the entire light fixture up. I wouldn't even want to think what could happen to have a heavy, powered up, light fixture fall into the tank!! Anyway I ended up using the cable system part of the hanging kit I just fabricated some better brakets to mount to the ceiling. Hope this helps

A very quick google search shows that it looks similar to the Current hanging kits.

This is how I did mine (( my ceiling was too high and has a skylight opening, so I used a shelf ))
